Dorn Ace Hardware

"What a wonderful hardware store. I had help as soon as I walked in the door. Found a cute present for my daughter, and they even made a key for an odd lock I couldn't get done anywhere else! They have what you can't find at the warehouse stores. Thanks Dorn!"

"Great local hardware store. Found what i was looking for and it was in stock. Staff was helpful pointing me in the right direction."

"I have used Dorn Ace Hardware as my neighborhood hardware store for over 25 years. The personnel are knowledgeable and eager to assist. They treat me with respect and never act like my questions about 'do it yourself' projects are stupid. Their prices are fair and their business hours are convenient. This is a great place to visit to keep business local here in Madison."

"Dorn hardware store well stocked like most ace, hardware, stores, and the people at Dorn are super Duper helpful! I went in looking for brass fittings for propane hosing it was a little confusing, but Kevin stuck with me the whole time and we found the parts and I was off and anyway! I love this, Ace Hardware store!"

"After decades of going to this little hardware store, being ignored by sexist old men and buying over-priced stuff I can get for a fraction of the price at Home Depot or harbor freight (both mere blocks away), I’ve finally had enough. They’re renovating and taking away all of the charm of an old school local store - one of the main reasons I shop there. The other reason I’ve always come here was to support a family in my community and their long-time presence in my community. Today was the last time - Tom Dorn is at the store (never seen him before) helping with the reno, and he needs to learn basic respect for other people. I was not impressed and will be going to the hardware store on the corner of Park and Lakeside St instead. Or the amazing one on Williamson St @ Dickinson. But I won’t be back here. (I’ve averaged well over $1K/year at this very store for each of the past ten+ years)"
